Lieven D'Haese’s new sculpture Two Legs shines with humor, innocence, and a touch of nostalgia, bringing forth the wonder of a child’s imagination. The work captures a boy perched atop a giraffe, bare-legged and beaming with pride as if he’s just won a race against the wildest animals. In this playfully daring feat, D'Haese encapsulates the purity of youthful triumph—a victory that knows no bounds or limitations, where dreams turn into reality.
This sculpture radiates the essence of carefree childhood joy. The boy’s expression is one of immense pride, exuding the unshakable confidence that only children possess. He doesn’t just sit atop the giraffe; he "rides" it with all the victory and grandeur of a champion, as if his two small legs have conquered the vast African savanna. In this act, D'Haese beautifully evokes the human desire to transcend our own limitations, to play with the impossible, and to triumph in our own unique way.
Each sculpture of Lieven D'Haese is a "trip". It makes you travel through the memory and the imagination. This is the magic of his symbolic work and his "savoir-faire" with the sculpture and the foundry work. The subject awakes something deep inside and makes the art lover travel somewhere inside. It brings us direct to the roots...Look at the human expression, feel the movement,... Everyone will certainly find a message.
Each edition of Lieven D'Haese is also an unique piece, because the artist has to create a brand new wax model each time and make his finishing in his personal way which is different and unique.
